DLSR Wide-field Astrophotography The Advantages
It’s Relatively Inexpensive
All you need is a DLSR camera

![Page 7: DSLR Astrophotography - bf-astro.combf-astro.com/wideDSLR.pdf · Astro Hutch is one source for new modified Canon’s, starting at $1100 ... Best web site for DSLR astrophotography](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051508/5a8c6c2f7f8b9ac87a8d0230/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Most DSLR astrophotographers use Canon cameras.
Canon releases the details of the camera’s software.
Nikon does not create a truly raw image
Some Nikons allow the “Mode 3” work around.
This allows the development of third party software,designed specifically for astrophotography.
A simple median blurring filter is always applied...removing many stars, as they are seen as noise.
This prohibits precise image calibration.
![Page 8: DSLR Astrophotography - bf-astro.combf-astro.com/wideDSLR.pdf · Astro Hutch is one source for new modified Canon’s, starting at $1100 ... Best web site for DSLR astrophotography](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051508/5a8c6c2f7f8b9ac87a8d0230/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Using Nikon’s Mode 3Simply start the bulb time exposure and terminate it by
turning off the camera.
Testing For Mode 3 Availability
Take a one-minute dark exposure in Mode 1. This is a
raw image with “no noise reduction” selected.
The camera sees this as a low-power warning andimmediately saves the image without running themedian blurring filter
If Mode 3 is available, that exposure will have
noticeably more hot pixels and noise.
Take a one-minute Mode 3 dark exposure.

For Starters… Keep It Simple
Use a wide angle lens (18mm is nice)
Use the RAW image format, at the highest ISO setting
Mount the camera on a sturdy tripod
Set the lens to its lowest f-stop
Shoot 20-30 second exposures
Take about five dark exposures (more on this later)
Set the focus to infinity... before it’s dark

Build cost ~ $200. Justthe ball head cost $50.
A polar alignment scope isused for set up. Holding agreen laser on the pivothinge also works, but lookout for airplanes.

AstroTrac
This is the ultimate portablecamera guider.
Base price is $600, but willbe ~ $1000 with accessories.
It tracks for about two hoursand takes about 90 secondsto rewind.

Using a Modified CameraDSLR CCD chips are very sensitive to infrared light. Thisrequires installing an IR filter over the chip.
Unfortunately this also filters out the Ha data that is soimportant for emission nebula images.
The solution… Remove the filter!
If you are skilled, there are several web sites withinstructions to do it yourself.
Astro Hutch is one source for new modified Canon’s,starting at $1100… including a 12-month warranty.
Filters are available so the camera can still be used fordaylight photography.

Fixed Tripod Wide-Field ImagesUse a fast 18-25mm lens. Fixed lenses are still betterthan zooms… except for maybe Nikon’s $1800 14-24mm
Quality wide angle lenses start at about $800 and areworth it if you are going to get serious with starscapes.
For starscapes, use a high ISO, the widest lens openingand a single 30-60 second exposure.
For star fields, use a bit lower ISO, close the lens onef-stop and take multiple 20-30 second exposures.

Barn Door and HighQuality Tracker Images
With a DIY tracker, use a maximum FL of 50mm. With ahigh quality commercial tracker, use up to 200mm lenses.
Close the lens one or two f-stops and use an ISOsetting of 400 or 800.
Take multiple two to five minute exposures, depending onthe quality of your tracking device.

About Dark FramesDarks are taken with the lens tightly covered. Thisproduces an image of the camera’s noise and hot pixels.
Set the time and ISO to match the light images.
Keep the camera at about the same ambienttemperature as the light images.
During processing, the dark frame is subtracted from thelight frame. This removes the hot pixels and inherentcamera noise.
Take at least as many darks as lights, the more...the better.
